Hey Gang, as an aside, do you think the 3-1/2" model (05195) is more rare than a 4" (05196)?

Do I need to see an optometrist, or aren't those letters gold in the picture?

Hello fellow Iowan. That is a very cool find. I want to say that is the 3rd or 4th example I have seen online of that student vise project. From my understanding it would have been made as a student project in Iowa City, not Ames. The link below explains the name change better than I can...

Hey Gang, I am looking at online pictures of a Massey 134 coming up at a sale in the future. I’m not familiar with Masseys and there is very little chatter about them online so maybe someone here can chime in. One thing that jumps out to me is how the spindle is barely visible on the backside...

To save people from reading 33 pages, how about an eager Wiltonian create a flow diagram for us mortals? This would provide a date-of-manufacture standard by capturing all of the versions of the 4" models...Chicago, Schiller Park, HD, non-HD, fishhook, non-fishhook, dated key, non-dated key, 5...

I will look at that too. Thanks.

Thanks, metlmunchr. I just assumed it was an early venture of Lincoln Electric. I didn't know about Lincoln lubrication equipment.

I'm blowing the dust off this old thread here... Soon I will be acquiring my grandfather's 80 gallon Lincoln with a Quincy 325 pump on it. Does anyone have any additional information about the Lincolns? What years they were sold, who sold them, or old catalogs? There is very little info out...

Did you ever find a Prentiss 181 vise for parts?

Do you still have these parts along with the swivel base?

I would love to have that for multiple reasons. Size, intact pipe jaws and ACCO stuff is not common.

That is kind of a blanket statement about the often romanticized acronym. :) It would really come down to the application. I'm sure that vise would work fine for some manual and CNC machining and grinding operations. I am kind of surprised by the amount of jaw mismatch but you get what you...

Unless I missed it, I didn't see an E5 model posted yet. Anyone else own a little guy like this?

Hey Gang, I am looking for a swivel base for a Simplex Utility No. 400 or Simplex Utility No. 500 Desmond Stephan vise. I am pretty sure the 400 and the 500 take the same swivel base. I was told maybe a Lakeside might work as well?... Thanks for any leads!
